Operation Rutabaga or Gardening for Victory

BEAUTIFUL Marion! I had some of those Turk's cap lilies, but those

:cuss: red beetles ate em.

 

I had the goldsturm rudbeckia in my main garden & they were GORGEOUS this year

next to the Rosa Radrazz( "Knock Out" roses) which are still in full bloom!

 

In addition to the pink echinacea, I bought a pretty yellow variety at a garden

center this year - I think it's called "Mellow Yellow".

 

Your Monarda/Bee Balm looks fabulous. I never seem to have much luck with that

plant, but have a neighbor who'se had great success with it.

 

I got a daylily catalogue from Olallie Farms in Vermont and made lists

of the ones I'd like to have for next year ( I'll be lucky if I can budget for one or two,

but you need to dream!).

New in my garden this year - a"Sky Pencil" holly that grows about 8-9 ft tall

and no more than 1-2 ft wide. A great accent shrub! and it's evergreen!

 

One of the very best container plants I bought this year was a perennial

lobelia that was sky blue and is STILL blooming like mad!

 

fun stuff! Sigh! I hate putting the garden to bed for the winter.

 

thank you for sharing your garden photos! :clappin: We'll have to confer

about our plantings next Spring!
